Structure, Governance and Managemen

As established in the Church Constitution, agreed by the Church Meeting held on 20[th] July 2011, the Board of Trustees is composed of:

The elected Deacons from the Church’s Windmill Street Congregation
The elected Elders
The Church Treasurer
The Minister

The Trustees have met regularly throughout the year to manage the affairs of the Charity, both in their role of trustees as well as leaders of the Church

Objectives and activities

The Church’s Purpose , as defined in the constitution, is “The advancement of the Christian faith according to the principles of the Baptist denomination."

The Church may also advance education and carry out other charitable purposes in the United Kingdom and/or other parts of the world.

The Church has maintained online and in person, a regular programme of weekly worship services, prayer meetings and small Bible study groups, as well as running a variety of different group and activities for people of all ages, throughout the year.

Financially, in addition to continuing its work in the local community, the Church has distributed monies to several personnel and organisations whose spheres of activity are outside the immediate area of Gravesend, but in keeping with the Church’s defined purpose.

Public Benefit

The Trustees keep under review the working of the Charity, and how it can improve its effectiveness and influence. It provides a range of facilities that serve local people, such as activities for children, young people

and adults that give help, support, stimulation, and encouragement, as well as promoting the Christian faith and enabling people to join public worship.

Achievements and performance

2022/23 has been a year of getting back to normal following the end of Covid restrictions and people becoming used to gathering with others again in larger groups, and without distancing or the need to wear masks. Having emerged from Covid there have been some changes to our pattern of worship. Broadcasting has continued in order to enable those who are unable to attend the church to be part of Sunday services, as well as reaching others on the internet. Our services moved to 10:30am on Sunday mornings, combining the former 9:30am and 11:00am services. This was not because of a fall in numbers, but an opportunity to bring together the whole church as we re‐established ourselves from Covid restrictions. In fact we have had an increase in the number of new people and families joining the church, mainly from other ethnicities which has broadened the cultural make up of Emmanuel. This has been encouraging, because it reflects the work that is being done to develop an inter‐cultural church community. An Asian fellowship has also started to attend worship once a month. In order to meet the needs of those who prefer a more traditional service, a Wednesday afternoon meeting was started, and it has a consistent gathering of people, some of whom are unable to attend on a Sunday. We have a Romanian congregation meeting in the chapel on a Sunday afternoon.

We continue to hold prayer meetings and Bible studies online, because this is more convenient and makes it possible for older people to take part in the evenings. Bible studies are run as short courses and have covered prayer and been focussed on festival times. During the year we were able to conduct baptisms and funerals, sharing as a church community in these occasions.

Church meetings relating to the governance of the church take place four times a year and are now held in person. We have introduced a church management suite to enable the better administration of the church and appointed a new administrator who has been trained to process day to day payments and invoices, which frees up our church treasurer.

The church provides pastoral support for those who are regular worshippers and members of the local community. Support continues to be given to those who are struggling with homelessness or the rising cost of living. Make Lunch remains an important means of serving the local community in school holiday times, not just by providing meals, but also a social gathering for families, as well as food to take home for the coming week. Friday youth club is still meeting, run by a committed team and the church also supports Foodbank and Sanctuary. We are involved with Schools' Pastors and a new development this year has been the introduction of a Kintsugi course to help meet people's emotional needs. Emmanuel is still an integral part of Gravesham Churches Together, taking a lead in the events in the town and being part of the network meetings, as well as the North Kent Baptist network meetings.

The church continues to provide significant financial support for work overseas amongst poorer communities through the links we have with Baptist World Mission, other Christian organisations and responding to crisis appeals.

Financial Review

The financial situation for the church has remained challenging, with general donations received in the financial year dropping by an average 20% on the previous financial year.

The total income received for the financial year to March 2023 was £136,661 while the total expenditure was £202,915. The accounts therefore show a deficit of £66,254.

1 1 I I \ I

Most of this deficit has been encountered due to major building work being carried out on the fabric of the building and was financed by a legacy received in the year to March 2022. The work has included secondary glazing for the offices and Damp treatment in the church building and redevelopment of the community Hub for the community worker as well as other general maintenance and refurbishment of a very old church building. In the financial yearto March 2024, we will need to carry out major roof work on the Manse and replacement of 2 large patio windows which will put extra demands on the church finances.

In spite of the challenging financial situation we have continued to support missionary work both in the UK and abroad as well as helping a number of families in need in the Gravesham borough and will seek to maintain the same lever of support fo'r the coming financial year.

Although the in the year to March 2023 we have incurred a substantial deficit the church cash position is still healthy mainly due to the sale of an investment property owned by the church.

Note 2 Accounting policies 2.2 INCOME

This standard list of accounting policies has been applied by the charity except for those ticked "No" or "N/a". Where a different or additional policy has been adopted then this is detailed in the box below.

Recognition of income These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when:  the charity becomes entitled to the resources; ꞏ it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and  the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or Offsetting permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102. Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income Grants and donations recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP). In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP). Legacies Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity or have been met. Government grants The charity has received government grants in the reporting period Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the Tax reclaims on donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift donations and gifts and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise. Contractual income and This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or performance related services or met the performance related conditions. grants Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be Donated goods exchanged) unless impractical to do so. The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt. In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution. Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance sheet. On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading activities' and the proceeds from sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading activities'. Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets and included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable. Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations when receivable.

Donated services and Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of facilities the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably. Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SOFA. Support costs The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs. The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described Volunteer help in the trustees’ annual report. Income from interest, This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can royalties and dividends be measured reliably. Income from membership Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in Donations subscriptions and Legacies. Membership subscriptions which gives a member the right to buy services or other benefits are recognised as income earned from the provision of goods and services as income from charitable activities.
